CHARLES H. BRIGHAM, E NEW Yoan, N. Y., AND GEORGE P. HARVEY.

0E JERSEY CITY, NEW JERSEY. A

MACHINE FOR PREPARING COATED MATERIALS.

To all whom it may concern.:

Be it known that we, CHARLES `H. Bn1e EAM, residing at No. 104 West Niney-fourth GEORGE P. HAavEY, residing at No. 446 Westside avenue, in Jersey Uit in the State of New Jersey, citizens of the nited States,

Y have invented a new and useful Machine for Preparing Coated Materials, of which the followlng is al speciiication. l

Our invention relates to a machine for reparin manipuiating, or modifying t ose manu actures consisting of a thin material having a surface'covered by a substance 0r film adhering thereto or formed in art by treating the material to which it a eressuch as gummed paper, court-plaster, and

analogous articles; A.and the objects of our in.- vention are to nprovide a machine which will ractieally prevent the` contraction of the lm` or substanceadhering to the surface of such materials, and thus do away with the tendencyof such' manufactures to curl, enable the .use of a substance or film heavier in proportionto the material,` and rovide artic es -of this character more casi y lhandled and more usefui. We obtain these objects by the mechanism illustrated inthe accompai`1 drawings,inwhich in W 'ch the mechanism is contained, show.-

ing the mechanism. Fig. 2 is a horizontal section of the same.

`Simiiar figures' refer to similar parts throughout both views- 1 and 2 are rollers of e ual size, the bearings ofwhich are heid by the ox.

3 and 4 are s ur-Wheels connecting the roiiers 1 and .2 and engagin each other, so that the rollers revolve equ y in opposite directions.- The roller 1 is connected with the usual Wheels 6 and 7, over which passes the f beit by' which the mechanism is driven or the mechanism may be driven by hand b furnishing arhandle connected with the rol er 1.

8 and 9 are similar rollers running 1n bearl ings-fixed to. the box, preferably adjustable in itiielusual way, so as to take up thesiack asI 13 and'14, which pass oyer them, ilystretch. The adjustable bearings ofthe `-eifsrjand' 9 shown at 10, 11, and 12.

-Qv'er the roilersigand 9 passes an endless Specification of Letters Patent.

Application Sled March 15,1964. Serial No. 198,286.

re 1 is a longitudinal section of the box broken. Passing Patented March 6, 1906.

belt of linen oiothery thin material 13, and a similar belt 14 passes over the rollers 1 and 8. 15 is an idleroiler extending almost across the box.

16 is a bar paraliel to the roller A15 alndz'hav, in its ends connected with theaxes 'of the ro er 15 by bars 17 and 18, which are pivoted or centered on the sides of the box, From one of these bars 17 extends an arm 19, pro vided with a screw or clam 20, engaging the side of the box, which enabiias the, bars 17 and 18 to be moved upon their pivots andheld in any desired positlon. VThis movement of the bars 17 and 18 is desirabie in order toincrease or, diminish the tension 'and the angle at which the beits 13 and 14 pass over the bar 16. 'The two belts 13 and l'pass together under the idle relier 15 and over thebar 16, the ed le pof which is somewhat sharpened aiong tie line of contact, the exact degree of sharpness de ending chiefiy upon the thickness of the ii m or substance adhering to the materiai and of the material itself.

21 represents the usual brushes, of metal, connected with a grounded wire 22, designed mereiy to remove the electricity that may be generatedby the o ,eration of the mechanism.

23 is a feed-tab e running into the box for the purpose of allowing the material .to be fed into the mechanism, and l211 is a table upon lwhich the material is received after passing through the mechanism. A

The o eration of the mechanism is as follows: T e rollers 1 and 2 revolveeiually in opposite directions, causing the, end ess belts 13 and 14 to travel equally. The materialas, for example, a iece 'of gummed a erin the form now uSua ly producedis e into the mechanism fromV the table 23. It is caught and li htly heid above and below by the endiess hte 13 and 14, between which it rests. The materialis inserted so that the substance or film coverin the surface is ulg)- permost in order that W en it reaches t e edge of the bar 16 it may be more effectually which carry an protect it the material is drawn under the roiier 15 and thence across and bent over the edge of the bar 16, which fractures or breaks the substance or film adhering to the surface of the materiai into numerous small particles, and then, stili held by along between the belts' the belts, the material passes out at the other end of the box onto the tab1e'24.

What we claim as our invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is

1. A machine for breaking into small articles the substance or film covering a su ace of those materials which consist of a thin material having a surface covered by a substance or film adhering thereto or formed in part by treating the material to which it adheres, which consists of a suitable frame, two belts which hold the material between them, and means intermediate the ends ofthe frame to break the 'um or film into small particles, leavin it a hering to the material.

2. machine for breaking into small articles the substance or film covering a surihce of those materials which consist of a thin material having a surface covered by a substance orfilm adhering thereto or formed in art by a suitable frame, two endless belts wit the frame which belts hold the material between them, rollers for sup orting said belts and means intermediate ci] the sup orting-rollers provided with an ed e adapteg to break the um or film into sma particles, leaving it adering to the material.

3. n a machine for reparing gummed paper, court-plaster an .other manufactures, consistinof a thin material having a surface covered v a substance or film adhering thereto or formed in part b treating the material to which it adheres, tlie combination of a frame, two endless belts Within the frame so arran' ed as to hold the material between them an an ed e adapted to break the film into small partie es leaving it adhering to the material.

4. A machine for breaking into small articles the substance or film covering a surlface of those materials which consist of a thin material having a surface covered by a substance or film adhering thereto or formed in part by treating the material to which it adheres,

such as gummed paper, court plaster and analo ous manufactures, which consists of a suitab e frame, an edge two belts which hold the material between t em and thus draw it over the edge.

5. In a machine for preparing gummed paper, court-plaster an other manufactures consistin of a thin material having a surface covered a substance or film adhering thereto or ormed in art by treating the material to which it ad eres, a combination of two endless belts to hold and break the material with' an ed e across which the material is bent at an a 6. In a msiliine for g eparing gummed paper, court-plaster an other manufactures consisti of a thin material having a surface coveredn a substance or film adhering thereto or ormed in art by treating the material to which it adheres, a combination of two endless belts to hold the material a roller and edge so arranged that thebelts draw the material over the roller and bend it across the edge so that the adhering substance or film is broken or fractured.

In testimony whereof we have signed our names to this specification in the presence of two subscribing Witnesses.
